A gentleman up from Tehama yester-
day, says the Red Bluff News, informed
us that below Mr.. Tyler's place he passed
a horse upon the wayside, Near by were
a wagon, harness and some children. 1t
appears from the story of the latter that
without any apparent cause the horse had
suddenly quit living. 1t is no more re-
markable new than in the days of James
Fitz-James that a horse should expire alb
ruptly. But-about 20 years ago, a thing
in the form and habiliments of a man
started out from Tehama in charge of a
fine team of young horses. By some
chance the team did not conduct itself in a
manne to please the driver. Thereupon
he got down and deliberately with a club
beat the eysballs out of one, if not two, of
the horses. The inhuman wretch was
prosecuted and confined for six weeks in
the county Jail for his cruelty. The dead
horse of yesterday was the poor animal
made sishtless so many years ago by a
monster in human form. He outlived his
tormentor, who was hanged in Modoc
county some years ago.

The Chicago Tribune shows the auda.
city of Anarchist Parsons in his attacks
on the Illinois Supreme Court, and calls
attention to the conclusive fact that "if
Parsons had been proceeded against
solely for his ~inAammatory u~tterances
nothing more could have been done than
to bind him owe to keep the peace. A
crime Of blood having resulted, however,
Parsons threats and declarations became
competent evidence as to the question
of criminal intend, and were SO used.
The evidence against Parsons, although,
perhaps, not as direct and positive as
that against Spies, Lingg and some of
the other defendants, cannot possibly
warrant his demand for an absolute
pardon. His demand for an uncondi.
tional release would seem to simplify
greatly the task of the Governor"

Mining Stocks.

We are on the eve of the tenth month of
the year, and still the mining market
shows no Improvement. On the contrary,
things lave gone from bad to worse, and
operations on the Exchanges have reached
such a limited figure that a further dimin.
ished business would practically end
speculation in mining shares in this market.
When it is remembered that but 10000 to
80, 900 shares of various stocks now find
purchasers each day as against 700, 900 on a
single day during the great boom of last
year. the conclusion must be reached that
the period is not far distant when the
market is to witness a decided improve
ment. Never in the history of this country
has the industry itself been more prosper
GUS and investments in mines more profit
able, but the prosperity is general and
we'll distributed, and no phenomenal
b~onanzas, which are the foundation of
unhealthy booms. have recently been
opened, or at least, are not before the pub
lie. The industry is settling down into the
steadier lines of manufacturing, and
though the interest in it may be less
noisy than in the wilder speculation of the
past, it will become mole general, as its
extreme profitableness is better under
stood, and it will be more healthy
and durable. Engineering & Mining

Lewis and Battle Mountain railway with a

about two miles above Battle Mountain,
and run across the Flat and up through

DENIED Ruanr OF WAY.
Decisions Of she supreme Cours
Erecting the Night OF way
Through Private Property.

A Jecisiop has been handed down by the
Supreme Court affirming the decision OF
the Supreme Court of California, which
will interest every man or corporation 10
the country who W a mining lain
The case is that Of the Amador Queen
Mining Company VS.. William Dewitt, in
which an action was brought to condemn a
right Of way through a tunnel under the
defendants mining claim. The plaintiff
claimed that without this right Of way its
mine could not be operated. Dewitt owns
and works a high ridge Of mining land ly-
ing between Hunts Gu!ch n Murphys
Gulch in AmadOr county, Cal. The ANA
dor Queen Mining Company OWES a claim
in Murphy's Gulch, and claims The right
to drive a tunnel between that place and
the c%ompany's quartz mill IN Hunts
Gulch, ard without this tunnel it cannot
continue to develop its mine. As this
case involves the question of whether a
right of way through private property can
be used for purely private purposes by any
other than the owner, it has been watched
with intense interest by mining men
generally. The decision of the lower court
which has been affirmed by the decision OF
the Supreme Court, was that the tunnel
could not be driven or constructed by the
Amador Queen Mining Company under
Dewitt's claim, as his mining claim is
private property. The Supreme Court, in
its opinion, suggested that as mining is a
private industry, private property cannot
be condemned in support of it.
Another case involving the same points
is that of Harriet bowers VS.. Philip Rich
ards, cited by the Alta California.
Philip Richards lives in Nevada City,
and owns a lot there, his title protected in
part by the town site patent granted by
the Federal Government in 1869. Harriet
bowers owns a gold mine situated under
the lot, and to work this mine she ran a
tunnel under Richards lot. This tunnel
drained Richards well dry, and to restore
his well he caved in the tunnel at a point
where the plaintiff claimed the tunnel had
reached a spur of the quartz ledge of the
gold mine alluded to. Because of this al
legged trespass of Richards by digging m
his own lot in snch = way as to ave the
tunnel in, Harriet bowers brought a suit
against him to recover damages. A jury
gave judgment for the defendant. and the
Supreme Court refused to disturb that
judgment.

They All Have Them,

The other evening I went to a party and
tried to find out the pet superstition of
each girl I danced with. And they all
have them. One wouldn't go under a lean
ing ladder, another would be sure of be-
coming i'll if she saw the moon over her
left shoulder; another would not read an
epitaph for fear of losing her memory.
Ons girl told me she could stop a dogs
howl any time by taking off her shoe and
splitting in it. In drawing her handker-
chief from her bosom a narrow piece of pa

some ~hieroglyphics. "Oh, my charm!'
she exclaimed. I supposed she had lost an
article of jewelry, and was searching about
for it, when she seized upon the scrap of
paper as though it were a deed to a San
Diego corner lot. My curiosity was
aroused, and she explained that it was a
charm i~nsuring success in undertakings,
purchased by her at a great price from an
Egyptian fortune-teller in Paris, and shat
it's possession alone amounted to nothing,
but it must be put into the pocket or in
the bosom of a dress during the recital of
an Egyptian verse. If one failed to re.

THE NoBoDiEs.

The no5odies are an overwhelming
majority Of the human race. OF the
l,400, 600, 0c0 OF people on the globe to-
day, how many have ever been heard of
beyond the narrow circle Of their village
or neighborhood? Certainly not one in
q million. Of the millions of millions
who have lived and died since the crea.
tion of Adam, how few have left any
memorial. Of how few do we know the
names even. If, then, nobodyism is the
common lot, why should not you and 1
be willing to be nobodies? Is it not
enough for US to live as the majority of
our kindred have lived and are living?
The earth, which God has given to the
sons of men, is a great family mansion.
In its various stories the overwhelming
majority of our brothers and sisters toll
on quietly from day to day, unnoted and
unknown. But a few restless ones per-
sist in sitting upon the window.sills or
climbing up to the ch~imney-tops. By
doing so they make themselves conspicu-
Gus. But are they any better off than
the rest of us? They are not as well off.
They have hard work to keep their
places; and those who see them are much
more likely to envy or c~riticise than to
admire them.
The men and women who have been
discontented with the common lot, who
have scorned the idea of being nobodies,
have too often mistaken ~notoriety for
fame. If they could only get the world
to talk about them they imagined that
they would be happy. And finding that
the world cared more for what is start
ling than for what is useful-that it pre-.
ferred to be astonished or even shocked
to being instructed-they have cultivated
eccentricities or even perpetrated crimes
in order to make themselves a name in
the earth.
Every reader can test this matter for
himself. Let him make out a list of the
people outside of the circle of his daily
intercourse that he knows by name
that he has read about in the newspapers
and write opposite to each why he is
known, and it will be found that three
quarters of them are cranks or scoun-
drels. They have pushed themselves
into notoriety by some glazing absurdity
or some startling crime. The honest,
Flooding cashier, whose accounts balance
to a penny, will not be on your list.
There are thousands of such in banks
and counting.rooms all over the land.
But they toll and die unnoted and un.
known, because they are honest; while
the half-dozen embezzlers and defaulters
of the year have their names paraded in
headlines, and the great world is sup.
posed to be intensely interested in them.

A CHINESE rIsN %.
Under Arrest for AssauitinE Five
Lille Girlg.


BosroN, Oct. 5.-Ad dispatch from Green.
field says: All Foo, a middle-aged China
man, is under strong guard in the County
Jail here to prevent his being lynched by a
justly outraged community. Such a scene
of excitement has rarely been seen in a
New England town as that of yesterday.
All Foo is a we'll. known laundryman and
has attracted much attention to himself
by his p~rotestations of Christianity, being
q member of a Sunday school and a favor
lite theme for religious speakers to enthuse
over. He is charged with assaulting five
young girls. An investigation by the parents
of the children showed conclusively that
the accusation against the Chinaman is not
without foundation. The children, ex-
anined separately, all told the same story.
They said the Chinaman had given them
something to drink and had assaulted them.
The news leaked out and spread like
wildfire, and a large crowd gathered
around the laundry and dragged out the
offender. The police rescued him and
drove him in q wagon to police head
quarters, where, after examination, there
were discovered corroborative proof of the
girls statements. By this time it was
necessary to call out the entire police force
to keep the mob out of the station, and
when Foo was held in 5000 bail he was
taken out in disguise and sent to the jail.
A large force Of deputies were sworn in
by the Sheriff and placed on guard inside
the prison, while 5000 people stood out
side and clamored for the prisoners life.
The celestial is terribly scared and sits
shivering in his cell. The crowd kept up
their yelling. Last night six more victims
were discovered, and all under 13 years of
age. Their families are heart-broken, and
the parents telling their wrongs on the
streets arouse the wrath of the people to a
boiling point. All Foo will be taken from
this town for safety.

The Gazette says: Reno, not being a
town much given to speculation, there is
nothing particular to complain of in the
financial situation here. Business is good,
to begin with. Next, although money
is not as plenty as it sometimes has been,
there is fairly enough to keep the wheels
turning, and no especial difficulty is ex-
perienced in obtaining it by those who
have any occasion to go outside of their
supply. Of course the fix into which
the Pine street spectators and others
have got that great financial center, is
followed by a sympathetic feeling here,
to a certain extent. Reno's business and
financial situation are in a good shape,
and that implies all that could be reason.

mainder OF HIS Life.
Speaking of politicians, poor Carl
Schurz seems to be done for. 1t will be
remembered that he slipped on the ice
last Winter and had a fall which was
made light of at the time, and the result
of which was characterized as a sprain;
but as time went on his friends and then
the rest of the world began to look grave
about it. Here it is the last of the Sum-
mer and he is in reality 10 better than
he was at first. 1t is said by some that
he will be a cripple henceforth, and must
necessarily resign all active participation
in public life. His long confinement has
told upon him, and he is pale and thin
beyond recognition. Probably more seri-
GUS than the confinement has been his
realization or his fear that his political
life was done. He is pre.eminently a
man of affairs, and the great game of
national politics is as the breath of his
nostrils, without which he will find life
itself but little worth. He still takes a
keen interest in them and is thoroughly
abreast with the stream of tendency"
as it sets toward important shiftings of
party lines. Much of the time, how.
ever, he is unequal to the excitement
and exertion of graphing with public

A GOA LIrION SPEAKER.

1t is not altogether certain that Car.
Isle will be elected Speaker of the next
House. On the contrary, the chances
for the election on a coalition Speaker
appear to be growing. There has yet
been no classification of the next House.
There were in the last House thirty.fve
Protectionist Democrats, including Mr..
Randall. Of these six were from the
South. 1t may be assumed that this
variety of Democrats in the next House
will be equally strong, A coalition be.
tween them, or even a few of them,
with the Republicans can elect a Speaker.
1t was a like coalition in two Congresses
in succession which refused to allow the
Tariff bills prepared by Representative
Morrison to be taken from the table or
debated. If only six Protectionist DEM
ocrats can be found willing to act with
the Republicans, a Democratic Protec-
tionist-perhaps Mr.. Randall himself, or
a Republican-can be chosen Speaker
Of the Fiftieth House of Representatives.
If the six Labor or National Represent
atives act with the Republicans in this
matter, which one would suppose they
ought. a Republican Speaker can be
elected, with the assistance of two Pro.
tectionist Democrats. This would seem
to be the only logical course that can be
pursued. Mr.. Carlisle and the Presi.
dent, according to common rumor, have
put their heads together on the tariff
question. The Federal officials appeared
in force in the Allentown, Pa, State
Convention and adopted a platform upon
which Mr.. Randall cannot stand, if he
is not prepared to take back a great deal
of his economic teaching at the dictation
of the Administration. Furthermore,
there is a rumor that Carlisle if re.
elected will appoint Sunset Cox. a rabid
Freetrader, Chairman of the Committee
OF Ways and Means. All this looks
very much like war on Randall and the
Democratic Protectionists.
